Proportional integral

Some of the inherent advantages of the feedback control strategy are as follows regardless of the source or nature of the disturbance, the manipulated variable(s) adjusts to correct for the deviation from the setpoint when the deviation is detected the proper values of the manipulated variables are continually sought to balance the system by a trial-and-error approach no mathematical model of the process is required and the most often used feedback control algorithm (some form of proportional—integral—derivative control) is both robust and versatile. 

Process-variable feedback for the controller is achieved by one of two methods. The process variable can (I) be measured and transmitted to the controller by using a separate measurement transmitter with a 0.2-I.0-bar (3-15-psi pneumatic output, or (2) be sensed directly by the controller, which contains the measurement sensor within its enclosure. Controllers with integral sensing elements are available that sense pressure, differential pressure, temperature, and level. Some controller designs have the set point adjustment knob in the controller, making set point adjustment a local and manual operation. Other types receive a set point from a remotely located pneumatic source, such as a manual air set regulator or another controller, to achieve set point adjustment. There are versions of the pneumatic controller that support the useful one-, two-, and three-mode combinations of proportional, integral, and derivative actions. Other options include auto/manual transfer stations, antireset windup circuitry, on/off control, and process-variable and set point indicators. 

This is the speed controller block that consists of both a PID (proportional integral derivative, a type of programming) controller and an acceleration compensator. The required speed reference signal is compared with the actual speed signal obtained from the motor model (section 2). The error signal is then fed to both the PID controller...

The instrumentation details must be specific in the same way as the other pieces of equipment. The accuracy, range, and type of the various sensors must be specified. The position of the sensors, sampling ports, and control devices must be indicated on the PIDs. The type of controller must be specified as, for example, on-off, proportional, proportional integral, and derivative, etc. As usual, standard items should be selected whenever possible. 

However, there are some processes that cannot tolerate offset error, yet need good stability. The logical solution is to use a control mode that combines the advantages of proportional, reset, and rate action. This chapter describes the mode identified as proportional plus reset plus rate, commonly called Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID). 

When an error is introduced to a PID controller, the controller s response is a combination of the proportional, integral, and derivative actions, as shown in Figure 30.
